Chad. Not at all. You didn't waste my time whatsoever. You solved my
problem. What I did was, I downloaded Tweak UI and it listed to 2 "add
remove" icons, so I unchecked one and it was gone. In fact your information
was extremely helpful. The list you provided, informed me which one to
uncheck in Tweak UI. The appwiz.cpl. I never would have guessed. In fact I
printed it out for future reference. Thanks a whole lot Chad, I greatly
appreciate it.
